Chicago WX Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 - THIS WAS THE SECOND LARGEST HAIL IN NORTHEAST AND NORTH CENTRAL ILLINOIS. THE ONLY INSTANCE OF OBSERVED LARGER HAIL WAS ON APRIL 23 1961...WHEN SIX INCH DIAMETER HAIL WAS REPORTED IN KANKAKEE COUNTY. That's some big hail. I've mentioned it before of course, but I'll never forget June 8, 1981...when softballs destroyed my parent's brand new car that was sitting in the driveway. I remember me and the neighbor girl putting a few of them in the freezer. Good times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember me and the neighbor girl putting a few of them in the freezer. Good times. My wife purchased a new car on a Saturday and it was parked during softball sized hail on Tuesday. We went back to the dealer and got a new one on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerball Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 DVN thinks the front is going to end up south of guidance. That sounds about right. It's typically what happens in these setups... The latest GFS says forget severe weather here tomorrow, as it now takes the low over Toledo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 least shocking development ever haha Based on my quick analysis, the front is a good 30 miles south of I-80 now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chitown Storm Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Been sitting on the northern fringe all morning but already .4" in the gauge. Complex out near Sioux Falls pivoting and expanding. Should see a good hit this afternoon. I'll take the rain , but I'd prefer some convection. This lame stuff is for October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chargers09 Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 That sounds about right. It's typically what happens in these setups...

I know the gfs was closer than the euro in regards to instability yesterday, but has it even been close position wise for this event? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Comparing 17z surface obs with the 15z RAP/HRRR valid at 17z, you can see that the model placement of the front is a bit off from reality Click for larger images Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 The warm front was expected to blast through here on its way to northern Iowa, but only far southeast Iowa is currently in the warm sector. We've just been socked in with thick clouds all day. All the rain has bypassed the CR/IC area so far. DVN is thinking 3-4 inches of rain later, which sounds pretty high, but we'll see. The hrrr has actually shifted the heavier cells to my south later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundersnow12 Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Tighest thermal/theta-e gradient is actually across north central and northeast IL right now with veered sfc winds further west south of the boundary with more clouds moving eastward into western/northwest IL. Those clouds will hamper the warm front coming north and you might get a more SW-NE orientated warm front later on. The best destabilization should be south of the Chicago metro IMO which will have the max heating as the higher clouds filter out. It's already in the upper 80's across eastern IL. Will just need the p-falls to back the winds later on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vortex Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 That's some big hail. I've mentioned it before of course, but I'll never forget June 8, 1981...when softballs destroyed my parent's brand new car that was sitting in the driveway. I remember me and the neighbor girl putting a few of them in the freezer. Good times.I was just talking about that at work.Was playing bball outside when that started. Damage was widespread.

snowlover2 Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Updated day 2 didn't change much. Still slight risk for S MI and N IN/N OH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Perry Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Well one thing is certain, it's somewhat raw outside with light drizzle. I feel as if 83° is only a dream now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 19z obs - front slowly creeping north Given lake reinforcement of the boundary, expected surface low track and possibility of convection, I wouldn't be shocked if the front never really makes it through Chicago. Could envision it getting hung up somewhere over there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasonOH Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 That rotation is way up there from the GRR radar. Nothing much showing from IWX which is pretty close. Nice storms though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
